Reseña del libro "Fables of the Hudson Valley Miniscules: The Gnomes, Wizard's Stone, Indian Caves & War (en Inglés)"
Fables of the Hudson Valley Miniscules, Subtitled: the 'Gnomes, Wizard's Stone, Indian Cave & War.' Is presented as a Historical/Fictional/ Fantasy. Starting from the original Journey of 'Brendan the Navigator and his sturdy crew of Monks on an Irish Curragh (Sailboat made of wood & Leather). All this back in the 6th Century AD. Their passengers, the first European Colonists in America, 'The Little People, ' known as 'The Miniscules.' Sailing and Island hopping, across the frigid North Atlantic, precarious in that time because the Earth was still Flat and Monsters Brutal! Finally after many hazardous and exciting adventures arriving in Newfoundland, making friends with the Mikmaq Indians. And after a few years realizing they preferred a more moderate climate ventured with their Mi'Kmaq friends to an important Tribal Pow Wow to the beautiful Hudson Valley. This is where these lovely 'Little People, ' settled and made their Home, finding the Land rich for growing, the weather moderate, Fish in abundance and life good! Their Goal to live healthy, help all peoples, make friends with the Indians, the animals in the wild and keep the environment healthy, their code. And were the Voyeurs of History from that day forward, witness to the good and the bad, the plagues and the many Wars! Its growth and trials right through to the present, and efforts made to Clean up the Beautiful Hudson River. It has adventure it has thrills, it has lovely and not so lovely Historic moments. It includes kids and their frivolous adventures and rescues thanks to our friends The Miniscules. It's Fun, it's History, its Fantasy in a Big Irish Stew co-mingled with joy but sneaking in some Historic knowledge when one is not expecting it. And a bit of Spice with some Ancient Indian beliefs, fears and spirits... I love the Valley and the People and Pete Seeger, his Clearwater and Sloop Club and others all aiming to save the Hudson and our Environment. Thank you for reading it! May its spirit live forever in the minds of children and grownups alike! That was my hope!
